The jellyfish forest I created with MeMom's assistance.
MeMom sat with Bella on the swing for a few minutes before all the children started arriving.
glad you guys had a fun day.
My buddy, Eeyore, was the first to greet us.
Sweet pictures of the girls at CP. When I saw Bella in the picture with Pooh I thought "Uh oh...somebody isn't liking Pooh Bear too much!"Morning MeMom and Jill,
What a great party Brooklynn had!!! Loved seeing all the pics, thanks for sharing!!
MeMom,
So happy to hear that you're feeling a bit better knee wise, but sorry to hear your cough is still persistant. I hope taking today easy, you'll feel better soon!!! Oh and I had to say, no I do not roll my eyes at your "corniness"....I thnk it's cute!!!
Have a wonderful Sunday everyone! I have an hour to get a shower and get all three boys ready for church, better get off DIS!
I might have to pre-order the TSM Wii game as well -- my brother works at a game store so I'll have to ask if he can do it for me. It might be good practice for when we go in February -- I am not normally a competitive person but my dad is pretty good at bringing out that side in me.
Great pics of Pooh and friends! Food looks wonderful! Owen was waving at Pooh on the screen.Cracks me up, he wanted nothing to do with them while we were there.
MeMom! You're grading stuff?! I used to love doing that when I was helping the 1st grade teachers for my Co-op job my Senior year in high school.
Dad was looking at your Crystal Palace pics with me. He thinks Brookie and Bella look adorable with the characters...our favorite is the one with Eeyore! Okay question for you: do you think breakfast, lunch, or dinner would be best to take the little guy there?
Great pics of the show in front of the Castle. I still can't get over the fact that their eyes and mouth move! I haven't decided if I like it or not yet.
from us!Wow. You guys sure do know how to throw a party! Brooklyn's b-day looks amazing. Love all the decorations, especially the jelly fish. You are so creative! I'm sure everyone had a fantastic time!
Back to WDW... how nice that the Crystal Palace folks extended some magic for your waiting for Winnie.
That picture of Brooklyn holding Bella's hand at the parade is positively priceless!
MeMom- hope you rested up this weekend and are feeling better!
My sweet, sweet girls!Great pictures as usual MeMom! Bella looks like she was really enjoying the characters right up until the end there when she got a little fussy. For an infant, shes doing so well!! Of course we know Brooklynn loves the characters
I really enjoyed the Move It Shake It Celebrate It parade! Such cute interaction between the dancers and characters with the people watching. I love the big float presents too. Can't wait to hear and see more!
Jill, the cake looked awesome!! I loved all your decorations! The jellyfish forest was a really cute idea.
I love, love, love the picture of Brooklyn holding Bella's hand at the parade! Hollie saw it and wanted me to tell Brooklyn and Bella that "they are soooo cute and precious"! She also wanted me to tell Brooklyn that she likes her waterslide and that she will come and play with her one day on it!
like so many have already said, very cute birthday party pictures!! Finding decorations on the cheap make them even more fun to buy!!
Fun pictures from Crystal Palace, the parade and Buzz
I love Crystal Palace! The food there is wonderful. It's so bright and cheery and you can't beat meeting Pooh and the gang!
Looks like you had a wonderful time there despite having to wait a while for Pooh.
I love the picture of Brooklyn eating ice cream as Eeyore tries to get her attention!
That was super nice of the CM to give you another set of Fast Passes! It just goes to show how being nice and patient can pay off!
Your score looks like my score on Buzz Lightyear! Mine is always the lowest one of the group!
great shots at CP! it looks like bella was great with the characters for her first time. and how awesome that eeyore was her first character!
how nice that you guys got some extra pixie dust and got the fastpass for having to wait for pooh. (i just laughed at myself for typing the phrase, "having to wait for pooh".
you can't see poor brooklynn's head!
very crafty!
it's memom!!!!! a very rare sighting indeed.
looks like a fun party! the food looked yummy and so did the cake. great job on the cake, by the way!
Love all the birthday party pics! Jill did a great job on the cake.
Another great update! MeMom you got some really good pictures of the parade. I couldn't help but laugh at the pic of Mr. Incredible with his beads. It looks like you caught him really gettin' his groove on!
a bargain. . He hasn't wanted a party for a few years and all of a sudden he wants a party, so we are having one. Not really sure what to do with teens. 
except feed em'. I certainly don't want DS's friends to say the party was boring
. I guess just let them swim, hang out and talk and listen to music. It will be mostly kids from church so I hope it goes well. Any suggestions Memom -or anyone- I am open for ideas. I am probably worrying for nothing.
The grading will be simpler in second grade, but you are welcome to come down and do it for me any time!
I'm glad you're bring your dad around to meet your DIS friends. When we meet next summer at the hippo, he can see how much the girls have grown right there in person.
We have not had breakfast there, but we might do that next summer. Dinner has been great both times, and there's always the fun of putitng your own sprinkles in your ice cream for a little one. Early morning empty park pictures tempt me to make a morning ADR next year!
A lot of the people that I deal with are okay, but there is that handful of people who are just nuts, and I always try to be as nice as possible to everyone -- especially those who work with the public, like myself, because I know how much easier it is for the people on the receiving end. 
I am keeping my fingers crossed that it isn't true, but since she wants to go to a buffet, I mentioned 1900 PF -- I'd love to see the GF in person.
ive just finished reading your whole report and i cant WAIT for more! its awsome and i love the shop pics memom - i love all the cool disney merchadise - we will be going to disney world for the first time in april '10 and i cant wait! Good Morning All,
Great update and pictures, as usual!
We love CP also. We have enjoyed every meal there. Love the character interaction. Jill I love the pic of you and the girls with Tigger...adorable. What a surprise from that CM...FP's are always a wonderful thing!
Love the pictures of the parade...looks like so much fun. Is this the 3 pm parade? Love the interaction -the dancing. I will be looking forward to this in Oct.
So glad you went to the Dr about your knee. I am also happy to hear you will be all healed up by Oct. that is awesome news. I'm sure you will let us all know what and when so we can be praying for you. I think our dates will work to meet up at the end of your trip, the beginning of mine. We will arrive late on the 22.
The Nemo birthday party looked like it was so much fun. I know the kids loved the water slide. Jill, you did a fabulous job on Brooklynn's cake. It was super cute! The jelly fish were just fabulous...you are a genius. I don't think I would have thought that up. BTW...we are kindred spirits in the bargain shopping department...I love
We are having a bday (pool) party for my DS this upcoming weekend. It gets so hard as they get older...no more cutesy themes and decorations...Just large quantities of food
Hope you have a wonderful Monday!
TTFN,
Darlene
Haha, sounds like a deal!
It will be so exciting to see how much they've grown in person, since I see how much they're growing regularly on here, thanks to you and Jill.
When are you planning on going next summer? July again?
We've had dinner there before! I can't wait to start planning our ADR's for places like that with him. I hope he likes the characters!
Hope you have a good Monday too!
I do too -- mostly because of work.
My mom heard a rumor that CP might be closed in January/February.
Heya guys! ive just joined dis though ive been scanning through it for over a year!
Bring on the pics!
<3
It's amazing how early they start with their little tempers and personalities.
We took Amy to Disney when she was 2 months and Emily did the same thing. On all the rides she was forcing her to wave at all the things. Poor baby and when Emily 1st saw Amy at the hospital she was so excited she kept shouting 'Baby! Baby! Baby!' and couldn't believe it was hers then half an hour later she sticks the bottle up her nose. Just thought I should share the funny story.
